Ease and Mobility in Neck, Face and Jaw

Sunday 10th January 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will feature lessons designed to increase flexibility and encourage more fluid movement in your upper spine, neck, shoulders and rib cage. We will use rotation, flexion and extension to reawaken your natural elegance and poise. This day will be very useful indeed for the relief of neck pain and possibly even chronic headaches, but please chat with me before booking if you would describe your neck as delicate or easily injured.

Rolling With Ease - Release Your Potential

Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th January 2010, 12pm - 6pm

For this weekend workshop we will take advantage of extra floor space to explore rolling through space in all directions. As a Judo teacher of renown, Moshe Feldenkrais was deeply aware of the benefits of the judo roll to our postural organisation, the pleasures of exploring the easy, fluid way small children interact with the floor, and the creative possibilities we all discover once we begin to remember how to learn through messing about!

Cost for this weekend workshop: £80 (£70), 1 Day £45 (£35)

Fully Functioning Feet, Ankles and Knees

Sunday 24th January 2010, 12pm - 6pm

Problems in the knees are often a sign of subtle imbalances in our whole skeletal structure. Improving connections and mobility in the lower joints can relieve pain in your neck and upper spine as well as locally. It was avoiding surgery for an early knee injury that inspired Moshe Feldenkrais to develop this highly effective approach to self improvement.

Ease and Mobility in Neck, Face and Jaw

Sunday 7th February 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will feature lessons designed to decrease tension and discomfort in your neck, face, jaw, throat and tongue, improving mobility and increasing expressiveness. Release of chronic tension in these areas is highly effective for lowering your general stress levels. It will be particularly useful for anyone with jaw problems, including teeth grinding during sleep.

Developing Core Mobility and Strength

Sunday 28th February 2010, 12pm - 6pm

We will stimulate and re-educate the deeper muscles of the torso, connecting your limbs to your natural power source and encouraging internal elasticity. You will experience better balance, more fluid coordination and increasing whole-self awareness. This is a great day for anyone concerned with loss of vitality or posture issues.

Freeing Your Lower Back and Hips

Sunday 14th March 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will feature lessons designed to decrease tension and discomfort in the hip joints and the lumbar spine, increasing flexibility in the whole of your spine and greatly improving both stamina and mobility in sitting, standing and walking. Discover how more functional walking can be used to improve your general spine health and chronic back pain conditions like sciatica.

Moving With Lightness and Grace

Sunday 28th March 2010, 1pm - 7pm (please note different times)

This collection of sophisticated and enjoyable awareness through movement lessons are designed to mobilise your whole self, harmonising elastic muscle with stable skeleton for maximum mobility. The day will enable you to rediscover the playfulness and agility of youth, and awaken the graceful dancer within.

Ease and Mobility in Arms, Shoulders and Hands

Sunday 11th April 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop features lessons designed to decrease tension in the arms, shoulders & hands, and increase flexibility and ease in the whole of the shoulder girdle, reconnecting the arms deep into the torso. It will also influence the muscles of the neck and is thus a natural partner to the neck themed workshop. Particularly helpful for people with upper back or shoulder pain, or any symptoms of RSI.

Integrating Your Arms and Legs

Sunday 25th April 2010, 12pm - 6pm

This workshop will re-organise the outer and inner connections of your limbs to your torso and to each other in order to clarify the lines of power and efficient functioning from the tips of your fingers down to your toes, relieving chronic tension and allowing better coordination and whole self awareness.
